If you learned this was being built next door would you protest.

[manowar821]

No, and you're a pussy.

Yes yes, come back with your glib attitude when you can't sell your house.

Would you welcome it, or would you try to stop it from being built.

When i was at home the last time there was this girl that my daughter was a friend of and she was in that group, i have nothing but good things to day about her and her family.

They were the most polite and down to earth people i have ever met.

So no, i would not mind that at all.

Besides, it's always the VP living in his Chateu next door that will run over your daughter because "he drives just fine when drunk".

Money has nothing to do with character, you'll learn that as you grow up.

Even worse, I almost touched a Christian.

Could be worse, you could have been touched by an angel.

Or Michael Jackson. :Q

Next thing ya know they will be letting Americans live anywhere. I mean, there will be riots in the street!

I think all of these politically correct responses deviate from reality.

While it's true that a person that lives in the projects can be nice and stay out of trouble, it's not likely. Some people may have (often made up) examples which are exceptions to the norm, the norm is the norm for a reason. When you get a low income apartment complex built near you, you're just about guaranteed to have problems with crime. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it and that's why your property value is guaranteed to decrease dramatically.

 

[Chaotic42]

Yes. It would damage my property values. Let's face it, our houses are investments. I might as well flush $50,000 down the toilet if that happens. What I wouldn't mind as much is a nuclear power plant.

 

[KaOTiK]

Protest and if that didn't work and it was being built, I'd move.
I have nothing against most the actual people that live in a places like that. Unfortunately crime is always higher around them.

 

[Bignate603]

I've heard of a small town that has a nuclear plant inside their town limits. It's property value was so high that the town residents paid almost nothing for their property and school taxes.

I don't think it would hit home until they got mugged.

I agree. For a forum population that seems to take pride in it's anti-PC stance, the hobo love in here is astounding.

The thought of so many Democrats moving into the neighborhood...it's time to move.

I wouldn't necessarily like it, but they have to build it somewhere. If you don't like risking such things being built next to you then work hard to up your standard of living so that you can live elsewhere. Nothing is full proof, but others have mentioned this kind of housing is usually not built in the nicer areas and that is very true for the vast majority of cases.

You can almost guarantee avoiding this sort of thing if you want to. You just have to be willing and capable of paying for it. Otherwise, stop whining.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

lets call it what it is.....the projects. Do you want to live near projects....I sure as hell don't. Say good bye to your property value too.

You must live in a poor area for land to be cheap enough to build income based housing.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I would try to stop it from being built. I don't want extra traffic or congestion where I live. Also, I live in an "R1" residential zone, any sort of mult-family dwellings would be major zoning violations. I don't see how they would even get permits to start a project like that where I live.

That said, there are a couple of HUD houses in my neighborhood (for very low income, low income, and/or disabled), and I have no complaints about them.

I would cite the Cabrini Greens in Chicago and bolt.

 

[alkemyst]

if your bought oceanfront this wouldn't ever happen.

 

[ViviTheMage]

run!!

 

[ivan2]

sell the house immediately before this new complex hits the news. and NOT to create news with protest because likely are the government won't give a damn about your protest.

 

[Amused]

I wonder why the welfare state has never learned the lessons of projects like Cabrini-Green and Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago.

You cannot mass state assisted living in one place. It becomes nothing more than a governemnt financed ghetto and war zone.
